Oscars 2022: This Could Be the Reason Why Will Smith Was Pissed at Chris Rock

Will Smith and Chris Rock made headlines on Sunday after the two caused a scene on the stage of Oscars 2022.

According to CNN, the encounter between the stars occurred when Rock was presenting the awards for Best Documentary. At this moment, Rock joked: "Jada I Love You, 'GI Jane 2,' can't wait to see it."

The outlet furthered that the camera then panned to Pinkett Smith, Will Smith's wife, who rolled her eyes as she sat next to the actor.

Will Smith then walked toward him on stage and appeared to smack Rock in the face.

According to Television and Radio host Gunz, the real reason why Smith got violent against Rock was that Jada Pinkett has alopecia.

Gunz also noted that Pinkett was public about her condition which resulted in hair loss.
